Abstract: A remotely controllable antenna mount for use with a wireless telecommunication antenna provides mechanical azimuth and tilt adjustment using AISG compatible motor control units and AISG control and monitoring systems to remotely adjust the physical orientation of the antenna. The mount control units are serially interconnected with AISG antenna control units which adjust electronic tilt mechanisms within the antenna itself. An AISG compatible mount azimuth control unit drives rotatable movement of the antenna through a range of azimuth angle positions. The antenna mount further includes a mechanical downtilt assembly interconnected between the antenna interface and the antenna. An AISG compatible mount tilt control unit drives linear movement of an actuator assembly and corresponding pivoting of the antenna through a range of tilt angle positions.
